"It must be that Mrs. Elina is a very wealthy person." Nikita said to herself, but Nikita admitted that she didn't really know Elina's family yet,
"Sit down Nikita ... sit close to me." said Elina, breaking Nikita's reverie. Nikita blushed she felt like a villager who had just entered a palace, so dumbfounded herself.
Feeling awkward and embarrassed, Nikita pulled a chair close to Elina.
"Minah." called Elina quietly while looking at the kitchen door, her eyes looking for Minah.
Seen Minah came hurrying.
"Yes Mrs. Elina." said Minah, bending her body when she arrived before Elina.
"Please call Bagas, tell Bagas ... Nikita has come." said Elina, rubbing Nikita's shoulder lightly.
"Minah, wait. Introducing first, this is Nikita that I have already told you about. Pretty right, Minah?" said Elina with a happy face.
Nikita was getting nervous and blushed at Elina's praise.
"Good evening Miss Nikita, introduce me Minah." said Minah, bending her body to introduce herself.
Nikita smiled and nodded her head softly.
After she finished introducing herself, Minah immediately went to call Bagas the second son of Elina.
While waiting for Bagas' arrival, Elina told Nikita a lot about her family.
It turns out that Elina's family is indeed a very rich person. Her husband, Erlangga Ginanta, has several companies that have spread throughout Indonesia, even for his head company in European countries. Because of that, Erlangga is rarely in Indonesia. For companies in Jakarta and several other companies managed by his first son. And the company in Bandung is managed by his second son, Bagas.
Elina herself also sometimes goes to Europe or to Jakarta, so it's rare for Elina to be in Bandung.
Because of all that, Elina is often worried about Bagas, because he is often alone at home and manages his company.
Even though Bagas' cousin Genta helps him, Elina is still worried. Especially with Bagas's current state, it made Elina even more depressed and always thought about her son's condition.
Nikita listened attentively. Nikita understood, why was the first time when she saw Elina, Elina's face was full of sadness.
"Madam Elina." Minah hurriedly came over to Elina with a tense face.
"Sorry madam, Mr. Bagas said .. to wait a moment." Minah said, while preparing several food menus at the dining table.
Elina looks sad, it really shows on her face. Elina hopes that Bagas can come to have dinner with Nikita.
Seeing the sadness on Elina's face, Nikita tried to comfort Elina.
On the back of Elina's hand was full of tenderness.
"Be patient, Madame." said Nikita with a soft gaze.
Elina nodded her head weakly in return to Nikita's caress and tried to smile even though it felt heavy.
"Mrs. Elina, Mr. Bagas has come." said Minah suddenly.
Suddenly Nikita and Elina looked back.
Nikita was very surprised, suddenly her heart was racing without asking.
Besides Nikita who was shocked, Bagas was not surprised when he saw Nikita.
Bagas remembered a woman who had helped him pick up a book and the woman who had the courage to advise him on politeness for the first time.
Elina stood over to Bagas, and pushed her wheelchair to the dining table.
At the dinner table, Nikita was still shocked to see Bagas, her gaze did not blink.
It just realized when Elina called out her name.
"Nikita, this is my son ... his name is Bagas." said Elina with a smile.
Nikita immediately extended her hand towards Bagas and Bagas accepted it with a heavy heart.
"My name is Nikita." said Nikita trying to smile kindly.
"Bagas." said Bagas briefly and immediately withdrew his hand.
"Come on .. let's eat now." said Elina breaking the silence between Nikita and Bagas.
"Yes, Mrs. Elina." Nikita said as she took a plate and placed it in front of Elina and a plate was placed in front of Bagas.
"Let me take it myself, Nikita." said Elina holding Nikita in check when she wanted to get rice.
"Can you just get some rice for Bagas, please." said Elina with a look full of hope.
Nikita couldn't refuse Elina's request. Nervously, Nikita took a little rice and placed it on the Bagas plate.
"What vegetables and fish do you want?" asked Nikita staring at Bagas.
"Fried chicken and vegetables only, Nik." said Elina answering Nikita's question.
Hearing Elina who answered, Nikita turned to Bagas with a furious look.
"Maybe he doesn't have a mouth." Nikita said to herself.
He took the fried chicken and sauteed the vegetables then placed it on the Bagas plate. Nikita herself took her favorite menu of fried noodles.
After a few minutes the dinner was quiet without much conversation, only occasionally Elina asked Nikita or Bagas. And Bagas answered without a smile.
Bagas pushed his plate slowly forward then turned to Elina and turned his wheelchair to return to the room.
"Mom ... I returned to the room, I still have work to finish." said Bagas in a flat voice.
Elina immediately stood up and turned Bagas' wheelchair back to face her.
"Don't go yet Bagas, talk to Nikita first. She has taken her time for us." said Elina, asking hopefully for Bagas to comply with her request.
"Okay Mom." Bagas replied briefly but still didn't move from his place.
"Nikita, can I ask you to bring Bagas into the living room? I'm going to the kitchen for a bit." Elina said to Nikita then went to the kitchen.
"Alright Madame." said Nikita, unable to refuse Elina's order.
Nikita approached Bagas who was sitting in his wheelchair. Nikita's hand accidentally touched Bagas's hand.
With his elbows on the edge of the wheelchair, Bagas glanced briefly at Nikita, who took the handle of his wheelchair from Elina's hand. Nikita slowly turned Bagas' wheelchair and pushed him into the living room.
Nikita stopped her steps and let go of her grip, then faced Bagas's face.
Nikita would not care whether Bagas liked her attitude or not, but Nikita did it for Elina's sake.
"You know Bagas, Mrs. Elina is the second person who is very nice to me after my best friend Hana. And Mrs. Elina is the first person who has considered me as her daughter, apart from my parents. I don't want to disappoint Mrs. Elina. For that, cooperate with me. Let's be friends so that Mrs. Elina is happy. You don't want Mrs. Elina to be sad, do you?" said Nikita explaining at length to Bagas about Elina's wish. Both of Nikita's eyes were still staring at Bagas bravely.
